(20) Axosomatic and axodendritic contacts were present in the cortices of the fetuses.
Vortical
Definition:
(a.) Of or pertaining to a vortex or vortexes; resembling a vortex in form or motion; whirling; as, a vortical motion.
Example Sentences:

(6) This finding is consistent with the idea of a neural mechanism sensitive to the curl of velocity (i.e., vorticity).
(7) Based on the principle of ultrasonic Doppler flowmetry, a power ratio was derived from independent forward and reverse flow Doppler shift signals to measure a ratio of the volume of vortices to the total vessel volume in poststenotic separated flow.
